Like, I don't want to sound like a corporate shill, but Valve has been the most consumer friendly corporation I've ever seen. Even if they do meet the criteria for a monopoly, they are the model of what a company that finds itself as The Monopoly should be, in my opinion.
I have no intent to sign up for this "lawsuit", even though I stand to gain some $500 from it. I hope Steam lives long and prospers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks like a major _de-_enshitification step on the part of Steam.
I'm not missing something big, am I?
Ugh, I want to say old internet things, but I kinda like this place and don't wanna get banned :,(
Like, you're not wrong, but even if Steam hadn't changed in the last 5-10 years, it would probably still be the best digital store front out there.
Zac Efron.
The girl I was crushing on in high school crushed on him really hard as he appeared in High School Musical. I spent wayyyy too much of my youth trying to emulate Zac Efron as a result. Eventually, that whole style just kinda became my whole style. Seems like a good fit.
I mean, isn't that a legitimate concern considering how many privacy focused services are built on top of / around TOR?
I have a feeling OP is low key that Dad guy from youtube cause hes just way too wholesome for the real internet.
These numbers are hard to believe. I'm going to need where you derived these numbers from if you're going to claim such wild numbers as these.
I'm really rusty on my set theory symbolism.
Can we get a plain English translation of each of these (probably don't need a full interpretation, just "how would you read this aloud").
Naw, it really costs an hour and 40 min of your life and probably a few thousand brain cells.
Oh no, now we have to ban them all?? What a shame!

I feel like I'm missing a reference with the changing states borders....
Yeah, its like someone tried to convert a Toyota pickup into a 2-door jeep.
I'm actually really down with this concept.
Imma need the stats on this so I can throw it in someone's face later.
But, so how does that work for people who move right around election time?
I really like that notion.
I think the reason it wouldn't work (at least as you've described) is the myriad of sub-governments (and therefore smaller elections) that can exist for each voter.
My city does town council elections, my county does its board of supervisor elections, plus an occasional county ordinance vote, plus state elections and ballot initiatives, and then our federal president and congress elections all on the same ballot. If I move to a new city, up to half of the relevant people to vote for could change - probably closer to 3/4 if I moved states.
Yeah, as someone who grew up in a VERY right wing household (and has made the transition to a much more liberal point of view), it kills me seeing the left make the same logical fallacies bad arguments to fear monger against the right as the right would use against the left.
Edit: probably over thinking my own wording. Its probably not a logical fallacy to assume your enemy is united, its just an inaccurate argument. Changed comment to maybe better reflect that.
Based on my (probably wrong) math, either a penny or, like a 2 cent coin (those existed at some point, right?).
So the ratio of old money to new money is approximately .25 to 4.50, which means that the value of money has shrunk by a factor of about 18.
25 cents over 18 yields ~1.38 cents.
So if he took a penny, cut it into thirds, taped one of those thirds to another penny, and was able to flip that unbalanced mess, you could say he'd lost a modern quarter's worth of value.
